Support the MS Society’s
Campaign for Income Security
Help gain secure incomes for people affected by MS
Ask your Member of Parliament to champion
our proposals!
  The
MS Society of Canada is asking the federal government for policy
changes that would allow more people with MS to stay at work
and remain part of their communities. These modest improvements
would help people affected by MS, their families and caregivers
gain the income they must have to cover essential needs. MS is
an expensive disease. Many people with MS are no longer able
to work and family members who are caregivers often have to cut
back on their own jobs to provide needed care.

The MS Society is asking the federal government for three modest, but important changes to current programs:
-
Make Employment Insurance sickness benefits more flexible
to allow people to work part-time and receive partial benefits.
-
Make
the Disability Tax Credit a refundable benefit.
-
Allow spouses
to claim the Caregiver Tax Credit – right
now this isn’t allowed.
Learn more about these key steps to help people
with MS gain secure incomes.
